Back to Color by AntonioND [GBC demo][GBDev 2014] (Antonio Niño Díaz)

Compatibility

This has been tested by the author in DMG, MGB, GBC, GBA and GBA SP. Non-color GB only show the reduced credits screen.

If you want to test it in an emulator use one of:

• BGB
• Gambatte
• VBA-M
• GiiBiiAdvance

The pentagon thing has a problem with priorities in old versions of VBA, but BGB, Gambatte and VBA-M emulate it correctly.
